Additional Description: Stone Pillars These thirteen stone pillars, in their original location, were porch supports for the Second Crawford Hospital, 1829.
Pillars with metal rings set in the top were later used as hitching posts.
Octagonal shapes were achieved by sawing the pillars vertically. The saw marks can still be seen on some. Historical records indicate that the pillars were made in St. Louis, Missouri, and shipped to Prairie du Chien by river packet.
